FTFYHave used both Campag and 105, campagnolo is way out front IMO.

Each to their own. Any particular reason though?
Again, horses for courses, and all comments are only based my own experience of 3 full carbon road bikes and a full carbon MTB.And how come that I didn't like the CAAD10 at all and went for China Carbon instead. RIBBLE for example has some serious bang for your buck.
No worries, just as long as you not under the assumption carbon is a natural upgrade in any way shape of form.Got an Alu frame bike now and for that price want a carbon frame this time round

Alu frames just tend to be too stiff. If the road conditions were bad I had to absorb all the vibration with my arse. I bought my frame from e-hongfu and it has proven to be great. (The main reason why I bought a Hong-Fu was to see if carbon would suit me at all, so far so good and my next frame will be a Fondriest or a Colnago.)Again, horses for courses.
I'd rather have a high end alu frame than a budget carbon one, been there done that, had 2 frames replaced under warranty.
Twice bitten makes me very shy in that respect.
Good luck to the OP though, there are a lot of good bikes out there for the money, but I wouldn't pay £1.5k for Tiagra or Veloce no matter what frame it was on.
It is, indeed. I gave my 105 gruppo away and went for Centaur. SRAM sits somewhere between the two.Funny how everybody has different tastes, isn't it?
For me - Shimano is head and shoulders above the Campag equivalent. SRAM sits somewhere between the two.
Never tried Sram, but my other half recently converted to Campagnolo, she say's it's better than the 105 she had before, and my other half is always right, at least that what she tells me.Funny how everybody has different tastes, isn't it?

Everything should be available in black.I would take the cannondale myself if only for a range of colours and finishes... with Bianchi you can have any colour you like as long as its bluish
